The Bluemoon Song Cup 2024 - Round 4/M4 - P276 - Kirsty MacColl (A New England) v Frankie Wilson (Do I Love You)

[City Hobgoblin]

If recorded in 1966 and released in May 1967 right before the "Summer of Love", how so?

The authentic hippy movement was '65-'66 wasn't it? '67 was when it went overground and commercial?

Both great songs(cool to play on guitar) but the moody blues is a level up.

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Nights in white satin and Wider shade of pale are in the same category for me. Too long, too slow, bland and... I'll leave it there. Scott for me on this one.

You mean when The Beatles jumped onto their latest bandwagon?

You forget just how good Justin Haywards voice is. There's a brilliant version on the tube.

One of the best , love his work on Forever Autumn making an average song melody wise much better.

A true professional and an absolute credit to music in general even if you don't take a liking to classic and pop rock.

Oh and he could pen a decent song as well and did so on many occasions.

The Moody Blues are definitely in my top 50 bands of all time , I have them ahead of the Beatles and the Stones in truth.

Saw him sing with War of the Worlds two years ago - still brilliant
